I'm going to be an exchange student in Germany, but track is important, what kind of teams do they have?
I have heard that high school teams are unavailable in Germany, and that they only have club teams. Is this true? Are these teams satisfactory? Running is more than a hobby for me, it is a career choice. Please give me as much detail as possible concerning the opportunities and practice schedules of cross country/track teams for high school athletes in Germany.

Generally speaking, in Germany and most of Europe, school sports are not at any height as here in America. Their is no school soccer(football) team that everyone goes to. Simply it is because school's are generally educational strictly in Europe and you can take gym where you learn sports. Don't get me wrong though, Germany is one of the most athletic nations in the world, if not the most. Soccer is HUGE in Germany, along with winter sports (Skiing especially), and track sports as you said yourself, it is just that normally you have to join some sort of club, that can cost money.
